Ya Wide I think we need to put together a cook-a-thon. The only problem I can see is the folks would probally never leave with all the food we have out. You seem to be strong in the tomatoe sauces, which has always been a little weakness of mine, however I make up for it with my exordinary soups, my meat glazes, and my madra sauces which goes on my beef wellingtons with a 36 layer fold puff paste pastry.

During dinner, we went with - of all things - A chardonnay from J. Kerr Reserve 1999 Santa Barbara County. This is a unique Chard in that it isn't very oaky, but has a strong body that can really compliment any food except red meat. It was perfect.
Dessert saw us with a Raspberry Framboise from Bonny Doon Vineyards Santa Barbara.

Most of this was already on hand at the house, but when you put it all together like this...WOW!
